The National Monuments Service's description
Situated about 100m from the W and N shores of Belhavel Lough (dims c. 2km E-W; c. 300-700m N-S) which is called Cleane Lough on the Down Survey (1655-6) county and barony maps. This is an overgrown circular island (diam. 20m; max. H over water 0.4m) with no visible evidence of artificial construction. A sandstone disc-quern (diam. 0.6m) was recovered from the lake shore close to the monument and is now at a nearby farmhouse.
